Instruction for work

1. Take a sheet of double-sided paper of a square shape. Mark the fold line by bending the sheet diagonally. Then straighten it. Do the same with the second diagonal.

2. Now you need to outline the horizontal fold by folding the sheet in half. Expand it again. On the resulting lines, fold the paper into a diamond. To make the vase-origami neat, well, iron out the resulting figure.

3. The right and left corners of the rhombus bend to the center. Turn the workpiece over and repeat the procedure with the remaining corners.

4. Now the upper left corner should be bent to the center, unbend and lower to the middle. We also do the rest of the corners, directing them alternately inside.

5. To make an origami-vase a stable bottom, gently bend the bottom corner of the structure. If at some point you made a mistake, do not worry, just expand the model and trace the bends by what step of the instruction you missed. It is important to accurately do the folds, otherwise the product will not work. If you all put it carefully, origami-vase should be ready.
